OPINION OF THE COURT
ROSENN, Circuit Judge.
The legal fallout in this action stems from a nuclear mushroom cloud formed high over the Nevada desert about twenty years ago. In this appeal we are presented with a claim for preliminary injunctive relief for alleged mutagenic dangers arising out of the open-air testing of nuclear weapons in the Nevada desert in the 1950’s and early 1960’s and for damages. The district court denied the requested relief. We affirm.
